That's fair.  I think the "whose values are" is supposed to be some sort of binding-independent more or less informative description, and then each binding (and right now we have only an ES one) describes how those map into it.

Maybe we should say that values are references to a combination of (1) a list of things of type T and (2) behavior to perform when changing the length of the list or modifying the values stored in it?  Or something like that.

Then the ES binding section can describe how that concept is reified via an ES proxy.
